Manage your research data

Guidance on managing your research data.

Effectively sharing and managing your research data can increase
its visibility (and consequently the visibility of your research),
ensuring the full potential of your research is exploited. This can
then provide a growing resource for further research, education and
training. Doctoral students are strongly encouraged to deposit data
from their research project.

Research data is all data arising as a result
of a research project. It can take many forms, including paper and
electronic records, recordings, or products arising from the
research. Data can be raw data, analysed data, and data which arise
during the course of research which is later translated into
another form or destroyed, such as audio and video recordings.

This guidance provides best-practice advice on
managing your research data throughout the lifecycle of your
project. The UWE Bristol project manager allocated to
your project is responsible for the management of all
research data collected during a project. Please refer to the
UWE Bristol Data Management Policy when planning any research
project.
